talented person, and honestly, you don’t need to be. A talented person hits the target no one else can hit, but a visionary? A visionary hits the target no else can see.
You will soon realize that seeing truly is believing –until you begin to believe in things you’ve never seen. It is at that very moment the glass box becomes your sanctuary and no longer your prison.
Pretty triumphant ending, right? You finally get to fulfill your purpose and walk off into the sunset!
Not so fast, kid. There’s no such thing as “happy endings.” Those only happen in movies. In the midst of your relief and joy comes the rejecting reality that the glass ceiling you so valiantly broke through, is only encapsulated by another glass box…that’s bigger…and thicker.
Another tough choice now awaits: Do you rest on your laurels, basking in the ambiance of your newly found victory or drive yourself to an almost deranged state to believe in something you’ve never seen…again?
Which side of the glass will be you be on?
